Following an extensive programme of redevelopment, a formerly dilapidated building at 53 The Parade in Cardiff, has been extended and converted into 4,200 sq ft of Grade A office space and successfully let to Cardiff University. Cooke & Arkwright’s Business Space Agency advised Emvic Developments on the redevelopment and extension of the building, and the potential for attracting business and professional tenants to the property. The Parade is in a Conservation Area and includes security access and parking for six cars.

Tim Lawley, Associate at Cooke & Arkwright said, “We identified that there was still a clear desire for Grade A space in this area, where good quality, small scale builds and refurbishments have been snapped up quickly in recent years, achieving close to headline rents for the city. Previously a mix of office and residential accommodation, The Parade is now a statement building providing high quality accommodation in a prominent location in the city centre. We are delighted with the outcome and to have secured the letting to the University.”

Mansford has expanded its investment portfolio over the last few years. Over this time Andrew West has provided us with a full rating valuation service which has involved giving a view on liabilities prior to acquisitions, as well as conducting negotiations with Valuation Officers on our UK estate. The portfolio includes a wide range of properties from shops, offices and pubs to major leisure schemes. He has been particularly successful in mitigating our liabilities to empty property rate, which has been an issue on acquisition prior to implementing our development and letting strategy. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew's expertise in rating valuation for all property types. The profile of property within his portfolio and the successes achieved are testament to his position as an extremely accomplished rating practitioner.
